Scafell Pike via The Corridor Route // Hiking Vlog #6

I've walked Scafell Pike many many times via a number of different routes, but never by the Corridor Route. It was about time I rectified this as Piers Gill, which is en-route, is somewhere I've been wanting to explore for quite some time. And boy am I glad I did!

The hike to Scafell Pike was worth it just to see Piers Gill, it's spectacular. The drone footage is great, always good to see a birds view.

Yours is the most beautiful KZfaq page. Just every picture, every camera sweep--as you say Tolkien's Shire, I have persistent anxiety, but watching your work is healing ☺

I agree with the comment below...you're videos are excellent. I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Lake District Tourism should be paying you royalties!

Cracking vlog, I completely agree Piers Ghyll being the show stopper where as Scafell is an accomplishment without benefits. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. I took a similar route last year but I went from Stockley bridge up the left side towards Styhead Tarn adding Great End to it too as summer daylight hours allowed. You've got a sub.

I always love your vlogs and always see and learn something new but this vlog was something else. You surpassed yourself in this vlog, I thought it was absolutely bloody fantastic and made me so homesick and emotional and so appreciative of what I have to look forward to in a few years when we move back. Give Finn a belly rub from me and thank you for always making such an awesome vlog, you should really be doing a UK series for nat geo they are that good. 🤗

Hi mate just watched this video as yesterday I did the corridor route. Only difference was I did Lingmell and Great End with it. I didn't know at first but I follow you on Instagram Black Crag, i always recognise that name. Really enjoyed the video especially around Piers Gill. Over the moon to see you got a whole load of video's I can watch can't wait to get stuck into them 👍 Great stuff.

Great video. I’m surprised you’ve not had more views! Nick and I are heading up to the Lake District next weekend and want to take our 7 month old with us up Scarfell Pike. Not to sure if it’s a good idea though. What’s the quickest route up do you think and how long would it take?

@BlackCrag 5 жыл бұрын

I don't see why you couldn't take your baby up, so long as he/she is warm, dry and protected from any tubes you might make. Quickest way is from Wasdale Head. If you're on Instagram DM me and I'll send over a route 👍 And thank you 😊🙏

I dont know about you but Lingmell looks more impressive than scafell pike. We also tried to reach pillar from wasdale up black scar I think it's called but you have to cross a "stream" which was not passable after the rain the day before.

@BlackCrag 3 жыл бұрын

Lingmell definitely is far more impressive than SP. I love the place 😍 My next vlog will be around Pillar so keep an eye out 😁

@Brock_in_the_North 3 жыл бұрын

@@BlackCrag look forward to that!. While I'm on the subject of pillar is there any other route up other than from the wasdale side? Ive looked at the OS maps and I'm struggling to find a good route up. I'm from yorkshire, I'm gathering from your accent you are too and I hate the drive to wasdale haha too long for my liking. So glad I came across your channel. Very impressive videos. Your love for the lakes clearly shines through.
